This is an amazing city! Especially the schools, they also have great TAG classes. You should definitely visit and move here!
Quincy is corrupt and full of good ol boys that follow they're own rules and is run by a slumlord. If you go down to City Hall and complaint about anything you'll be labeled a whiner if you report this particular landlord. The city lets landlords rent out homes in whatever detriorative decrepit infested condition they deem fit and will rent it out to you without proper plumbing, heat, or anything structurally fixed.
Pros are the Bill Klinger trail and new public school buildings. Also a nice selection of restaurants. Solid amount of retail. Lots of recent work on infrastructure. Real estate is affordable.
Cons are a school system that could use improvement, high property taxes, poorly run trash and recycle program, and job opportunities are limited. Local hospital keeps getting bigger, buying up land and developing. I'm not sure why because the population doesn't seem to grow.
Not a terrible place to live, but I am working on moving away. 40 years is enough. I want to live in more outdoor orientated place.
